Just after turning onto the A6, the expedition vehicle took a rather large rock to the windscreen. Concentric shock rings cracked through the the glass. A nice chip was taken out as well. This did not bode well for our bank accounts as we had not taken out extra insurance on the vehicle. Luckily, upon the return of the vehicle, Zach’s credit card company and the rental company worked out an amicable settlement.
On our way north and west we passed lush, rolling fields of sugar cane. And where there is cane in Queensland, there are sugar cane trains!
There are also larger trains.
This train shares a bridge with the highway.
There was actually water in the river. I’m told that this is a rarity.
Adventures in Bogan moving!
Turning west into the interior, we left the sugar cane fields behind and returned to the bush.
This is one truck that should not be passed lightly.
We stayed overnight in the town of Bowen. It turns out that this town served as the doppelgänger for Darwin in the movie Australia.
